Great recipe! I used fresh broccoli and added it directly into the cheese-soup mixture and then into the oven. It was fantastic and my husband asked me to please make it again.

Made this for my son's end of season baseball party and it was a huge hit. I took a short cut and put the dish in the microwave for about 10 minutes, stirred everything together and then put it in the oven for about 20 minutes. So I cut the cooking time down and everything still got cooked. Awesome Dish.

Was quick and easy to prepare. Husband ate it all and he's not a broccoli fan. Used fresh broccoli and parboiled rice and added 1 cup broth. Put everything together in the morn and stored in the refrigerator till late eve I baked for a little over an hr.

My husband and I both enjoyed this dish. I used fresh blanched broccoli and parboiled rice and added a little more liquid. I will definately make it again and again.

Made as written...a little bland. But a good base recipe

Wow, this is one of the most unappealing CL recipes I've ever tried. We had to throw it out and make a frozen pizza! I guess it's not for everyone (although I like all those ingredients and really love cheesy comfort food...oh well).

I made this with a few modifications - 2cups of brown rice and fresh steamed broccoli. I wasn't crazy about the Velveeta cheese and would substitute something creamy like fontina and cheddar next time. Served it with roasted lemon pepper bone-in chicken breasts!
